Default Re: Gfx card problems

Hi,

You could try to install a good airflow in your system, depending what
casing you are using. You can always ask your IT store for advise! My system
has been cooled by 3 fans, 1 big one and 2 small. The big one is taking care
off all the heat in my system, the 2 smaller ones sucking the cool air in.

Kind regards,

Mark
